Best Seasonal Restaurants in The Royal Mile

Great tasting food and the service was attentive we had oysters as a taster which was a great experience. Salmon was fabulous and the filet steak was out of this world. Loved it. The staff were great with the right level of attentiveness and brought all we asked with a smile and some light chat. The restaurant is a little cool if you sit in the corridor on the lower floor.

Meeting with friends before Christmas we wanted to find a venue which wasn’t offering a “festive menu”. The Bistrot retained its usual menu and offer of 2 or 3 courses at a very reasonable cost, especially in such close proximity to Christmas. We were also delighted to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant (being a group of 5) which allowed us to chat and hear one another (again not always easy to find at this time of year). There was a very good choice of dishes available from the menu; service was efficient but we were not rushed, and we would certainly return again and recommend to others.

Great ambience with friendly staff ,for us it was a great way to start off our afternoon in Edinburgh - a group of 6 mixed company!!!

Our first visit and we really enjoyed it. Menu had a good choice. Alcohol a bit pricey but expect this in such a beautiful setting. Only thing I didn’t like was the 12.5% service charge. We always leave a tip for good food and good service but I do object to it being added to the bill. Would recommend

Lovely, as always! Only one minor complaint though, main course was a tad on the cool side, needed to be piping hot, but apart from that, the standard was the usual high!
